Same here and that voice really was the only good one. I don't know why they don't bring the voices from their API over, which are all much better, like Nova or Shimmer (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-to-speech)
Haven't seen any evidence for the militant training camp except for unrelated video that clearly showed a different person. Countries can put anyone on Interpol, including activists and that's a known problem https://www.voanews.com/a/as-interpol-turns-100-criticism-pe...
The T200 is a great option too- you sacrifice the titanium for stainless steel but get more flexibility as the strap is removable (which IMO makes it more versatile). Beautiful dial too. I own one and I've been looking for watches with similar tinted crystal but haven't been able to find any that do it nearly as well.
I'm fine with government employees being paid handsomely as long as they're qualified and effective. Currently, public employees are typically underpaid; however, a lingering problem in California is that public employees, once hired, have a "right to employment" that makes them considerably more difficult to fire than employees in the private sector. The guarantee of employment often removes any incentive for continued improvements in performance. If it were easy to shape the public employee workforce by selecting for the best, it would be easier to justify having salaries of public employees that are competitive with the private sector, which is how it should be if we want effective government run by competent and ambitious professionals.
seems like a lot of unwarranted conclusions. What if she doesn’t think public schools are good for other people’s kids either? What if she doesn’t live in an area with good public schools? I’ve known people that chose homeschooling and it’s not extreme at all
